DameHealth came to us as a purpose-led women’s wellness brand with powerful products but poor conversions. Their Shopify store had traffic but lacked performance - unclear funnels, high drop-offs, and no retention system. The goal was simple yet deep: build trust, not just traffic. Within one year, Gaea transformed DameHealth from a stagnant store into a conversion-led growth engine, scaling it to a ₹1 crore annual brand with over 300%+ growth - by aligning purpose, product, and performance.

We had traffic but no traction. Gaea helped us uncover the gaps we couldn’t see and rebuilt our funnel with empathy and precision. Growth finally feels real - and sustainable.

The Challenges

When we took over the website in early 2024, DameHealth had strong intent but weak infrastructure. Despite increasing ad spends, growth had plateaued.

Key Challenges Identified:

  • Low conversion rate (0.04%) despite high traffic

  • High bounce rate (78%) — visitors dropped off after viewing one page

  • Inconsistent UX and slow checkout leading to cart abandonment

  • Overdependence on paid ads with negligible retention or referrals

  • Weak funnel storytelling — the brand’s purpose wasn’t inspiring purchase confidence


Our Approach

We rebuilt DameHealth’s growth system from the inside out — focusing on clarity, conversion, and continuity.
Every change was guided by data, behavior, and brand truth.


Phase 1: Funnel & Behavior Analysis

We began with data.
Using heatmaps, journey recordings, and session audits, we identified where users were dropping off and why.

Findings:

  • Product pages showed scroll fatigue.

  • CTAs lacked clarity and hierarchy.

  • No trust signals (certifications, shipping timelines, or reviews).

Result:
60% of users exited before adding to cart.

This became our foundation for redesigning the experience around trust and simplicity.


Phase 2: Purpose-Led UX & PDP Optimization

Once the friction was clear, we rebuilt DameHealth’s product pages around purpose, empathy, and usability.

Actions Taken:

  • Rewrote PDP copy from transactional to emotional (e.g., “Cycle confidence” → “Feel balanced every month”).

  • Integrated visual trust badges — certifications, review highlights, delivery promises.

  • Simplified subscription and variant selection for better decision flow.

  • Refined layout for scannability, clarity, and performance.

Impact:
Shoppers began scrolling deeper, engaging more, and converting faster — with a noticeable increase in average session time and add-to-cart actions.


Phase 3: Checkout Engineering

Next, we overhauled the checkout system to remove friction.

Implemented Solutions:

  • Integrated GoKwik’s one-page checkout, reducing drop-offs by 43%.

  • Added express payments for faster completion.

  • Introduced sticky ATC buttons for improved accessibility.

  • A/B tested cart reassurance copy and upsell placements.

Outcome:
Order fulfillment rates increased by 167% within 8 months, and cart abandonment dropped significantly.


Phase 4: Growth & Retention Loop

After fixing the foundation, we turned toward long-term sustainability.

Growth Systems Built:

  • Introduced Linktr retargeting and automated email flows.

  • Designed a 3-month retention funnel with incentives for repeat customers.

  • Made the founder’s voice central to brand storytelling, improving authenticity.

  • Strengthened SEO through behavioral queries (“hormone balance,” “cycle health”).

Result:
Returning customer rate rose from <10% to 25.9%, and organic channels started driving recurring revenue — reducing paid dependency.

Key Takeaways

  1. Purpose builds trust; clarity drives conversions.

  2. CRO isn’t a one-time fix — it’s a continuous relationship with user behavior.

  3. Design should communicate emotion as much as information.

DameHealth’s journey is proof that when purpose and performance align, growth becomes inevitable.
